Ceiling for home court adv rating in D2? Topic

My D2 Iba Harding team record at home:

Last 10 years: 117-17
Last 5 years: 59-6
Last year: 13-0

Yet my home court advantage is a B.

Is that as high as you can get in D2?

No but it is increasingly difficult to get any higher. Since it resets to a lower value every year it takes a very very long time. Plus your home record is not the only factor in your HCA.

You have to be pretty close to the max at D2 though.

If it's how good your team is too, here is my final rank the past 5 years: 4, 2, 11, 7, 2.

Yeah. I've been the bridesmaid twice, never the bride.

Great home record? check
Good team? check

So why am I still a B?

B+ is high as i've seen and only once.

Stop whining about it and check across the rest of your world, I guarantee you have one of the top HCAs and therefore does it really matter if you are an A or a B if you are at the top?

Oh I'm not whining nor am I thumping my chest. It was a rhetorical question really. B is as high as I've ever been and I've never seen anything higher than B either at D2. Just curious if anyone else has seen higher than B in D2.

I had Le Moyne to a B+ years ago. It was tough tho. I can see if I can find the seasons that it took tho.

That didn't paste well, sorry I thought GC did a better job and I hate IE.

Anyway this (like my 3rd or 4th season) was right as they were changing it to allow D2/3 teams to carry some of their past HCV over to the next season. Before that they were all reset to the same level at the end of the year.

I've never seen higher than a B I don't think. Maybe I've seen B+ with Wilmington in Phelan and SIEU in Tark but I don't really remember. If any team has gotten B+ I'm sure they did considering both have won 3 straight NTs in my time in their worlds. B homecourt isn't particularly difficult to get, I get to a B pretty much every season and I've only been to 1 Final 4 in my 13 or so seasons in Phelan.
